I provide three different climbing styles to choose from; whether lightweight, luxury, or VIP, you are sure to find the right option and equipment that meets your needs.  You may also wish to climb with a group of like-minded individuals on a small group climb or make plans for a private ascent.

VIP

This package includes a proper bed, walk-in tents, a wash tent, and a bathroom tent.  Tips for the guide and porters are included in the price, making it a good option for relaxation and peace of mind.

Luxury

This the most popular climb package, providing 3m x 3m dome tents with thick mattresses and sleeping bags, and a separate bathroom tent.  This is a great option for those looking for great comfort at a reasonable price.

Lightweight

In this option less camp equipment is needed thus fewer porters are needed, making this the most economical package.

Small Group versus Private Climbs

A scheduled climb up Mount Kilimanjaro is the most cost effective option and ideal for both couples and individuals.  Imagine the exhilarating experience of climbing the monster mountain with fellow travelers who all share the same goal – standing atop the summit of the world’s tallest freestanding mountain. In addition to the mutual support and encouragement a small group offers, you’ll also find you are likely to make life-long friends.

Small group climbs are offered for various routes on specific dates throughout the year on a first come, first served basis.  Any trip can run with a two person minimum and single travelers are welcome to join any scheduled climb.

Private Kilimanjaro climbs are ideal for those seeking the exclusive attention of their guides or for friends or family climbing together. Private trips can depart on any date (subject to the availability of crew and equipment).

Success on you climbing Africa highest mountains relies on planning and climbing with experts.

The Team

During your climb on Kilimanjaro you will be accompanied all the way by a hard working team including a highly experienced head guide, assistant guides, camp crew and porters. We pride ourselves on only using the best guides, who are experienced, fully trained and knowledgeable about all aspects of Kilimanjaro and Tanzania’s culture and life. Our extraordinary partners on the ground will ensure that your climb is fun, safe, and rewarding.

There is a full operations team back at base who are crucial to your climb. During your time on Kilimanjaro there will be one specific manager at base who will be assigned to twice daily communications with your group; the operations team monitors your climb checking your performance and health as well as that of all the crew members. They are ready to assist swiftly should it be required.

They will check every item of your gear and climbing kit before your climb and provide you with an extensive orientation so you are completely prepared for your ascent.

Porter Policy & Ethics

Porters and climb staff benefit from regular, ongoing training in all aspects of their work, including the natural history and ecology of Mount Kilimanjaro and many further topics that help broaden their outlook. All of the climb staff are encouraged and supported with furthering their education, to progress and seek promotion, and to see climbing Kilimanjaro as a rewarding long term career. All are kept informed and involved in the trips and the progression of the operation and are very well paid.

All of our mountain crew have access to good medical care both on and off the mountain, are well clothed and equipped, and provided with plenty of food of the best available quality. Our porters’ loads are always within the limit set out for Kilimanjaro porters by Tanzania National Parks and each load is carefully packed and weighed before departure to ensure that each porter is comfortable.

We have strong ethical and environmental policies, ensuring that climb crews are well cared for and properly equipped at all times and that your porters are well paid. We leave no trace of our presence on Kilimanjaro other than footprints. Not only is this the right way to treat our partners on the ground, but it has the bonus of ensuring that these important people are always in the best possible condition to look after our clients during their ascent of Kilimanjaro and take good care of the magnificent mountain that dominates their lives.

I believe that the safety and wellbeing of our clients and your climbing crew are of paramount importance and do not set out to be the cheapest Kilimanjaro climbing operator on the mountain. Instead, I offer high value for money on all our climbs.
